97. Basic Calculation for weight
GVW : 2,750 kg ---(1)
Kerb weight : 1,425 kg ---(2) (Figure on catalog)
Passenger weight : 250 kg ---(3) (3 passengers with 80kg/man)
Rear Body weight (tentative) : 200 kg ---(4) (Just tentative weight)
Fuel weight : 70 kg ---(5) (Full refueled)
Net Payload for Bottles : 805 kg = (1)–(2)–(3)–(4)–(5)
Weight of one water bottle is less than 20kg (18.9 L + plastic case), so
Maximum loading quantity will be 40 bottles.

Bottles 805 kg

(REF) Study for Water Bottle Layout
101. Al Manhal Water Factory (Mar.30th)
Hiace in Al Manhal Water Factory. All models are with DSL engine / MT, without ABS/Airbags.
They have 200 units in Riyadh (400 u’ in KSA total), but there are some stand-by vehicles.
Body is well branded for Al Manhal (or Nestle) product. They have role of running ads also.
Bottles are located on the floor, but it can carry 50 bottles in one floor. If 2 layers, it will be 100
Bottles maximum. However their payload is only around 1t, it will be much over-loaded.
They increase rear leaf spring by themselves.

Consideration :
1. The fact is that Al Manhal is satisfied with Hiace is true, and Hiace itself is actually
good and well designed vehicle. However, we have a chance to penetrate.
2. Our advantages are :
(1) Stability during driving With bottle fixed cage-body.
(2) Price Depending on the cost of body.
(3) Safety D-MAX is bonnet type, while Hiace is cab-over. And D-MAX has
option of ABS/Airbag also.
(4) Special designed body It can be specialized. For example, we can provide
body type which can carry bottles and machines together with.
(5) Work efficiency Easy to load-unload body (side opened shutters)
(6) Fuel Economy Fuel tank of D-MAX is 76L, while Hiace has 70L only.
etc…
We can find more, if we compare the specs in details.
3. Our disadvantages are :
(1) Loading capacity But Hiace’s case is just over-loading. It will cause non-safe
situation. And I wonder if they really need 70-80 bottles in one-time.
Next step will be a discussion with Body Maker who can make this kind of special body.
106. People development
• English Language courses.
• Personal development (Time management and
self management training)
• Marketing meeting.
• Problem solving training.
• Leadership training.
• Communication skills.
